Collaborating with other podcasters in your niche is a great way to reach a new audience and increase your visibility. Consider guesting on other podcasts, or inviting other podcasters to be guests on your show. This can also help you build relationships with other content creators in your industry.

  1. Use keywords and tags

When uploading your podcast to Apple Podcasts, be sure to use relevant keywords and tags that accurately describe your content.
